     One Headlight 
                     
                    So long ago, I don't remember when
                    That's when they say I lost my only friend
                    Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
                    As I listened through the cemetery trees
                    I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn
                    The long broken arm of human law
                    Now it always seemed such a waste
                    She always had a pretty face
                    So I wondered how she hung around this place

                    Hey, come on try a little
                    Nothing is forever
                    There's got to be something better than 
                    In the middle
                    But me & Cinderella
                    We put it all together We can drive it home
                    With one headlight

                    She said it's cold
                    It feels like Independence Day
                    And I can't break away from this parade
                    But there's got to be an opening
                    Somewhere here in front of me
                    Through this maze of ugliness and greed
                    And I seen the sign up ahead
                    At the county line bridge
                    Sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead
                    We'll run until she's out of breath
                    She ran until there's nothin' left
                    She hit the end it's just her window ledge

                    Hey, come on try a little
                    Nothing is forever
                    There's got to be something better than 
                    In the middle
                    But me & Cinderella
                    We put it all together We can drive it home
                    With one headlight

                    Well this place is old
                    It feels just like a beat up truck
                    I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn
                    Well it smells of cheap wine and cigarettes
                    This place is always such a mess
                    Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
                    I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
                    Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
                    But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams
                    I think of death it must be killin' me

                    Hey, come on try a little
                    Nothing is forever
                    There's got to be something better than 
                    In the middle
                    But me & Cinderella
                    We put it all together We can drive it home
                    With One Headlight 

                    6th Avenue Heartache 
                     
                    Sirens ring, the shots ring out
                    A stranger cries screams out loud
                    I had my world strapped against my back
                    I held my hands, never knew how to act

                    And the same black line that was drawn on you
                    Was drawn on me
                    And now it's drawn me in
                    6th Avenue heartache

                    Below me was a homeless man
                    Singin' songs I knew complete
                    On the steps alone, his guitar in hand
                    It's fifty years, stood where he stands

                    And the same black line that was drawn on you
                    Was drawn on me
                    And now it's drawn me in
                    6th Avenue heartache

                    Now walkin' home on those streets
                    The river winds move my feet
                    Subway steam, like silhouettes in dreams
                    They stood by me, just like moonbeams

                    And the same black line that was drawn on you
                    Was drawn on me
                    And now it's drawn me in
                    6th Avenue heartache

                    Look out the window, down upon that street
                    And gone like a midnight where was that man
                    But I see his six strings laid against that wall
                    And all his things, they all look so small
                    I got my fingers crossed on a shooting star
                    Just like me just moved on

                    And the same black line that was drawn on you
                    Was drawn on me
                    And now it's drawn me in
                    6th Avenue heartache

                    Bleeders 
                     
                    Once upon a time 
                    They called me the bleeder 
                    Well swimmin' up this river 
                    With sentimental fever 
                    But this ain't my first ride 
                    It ain't my last try 
                    Just got to keep movin' on 
                    If they catch me ever 
                    They'll throw me back forever 

                    I guess I should be ashamed 
                    But I forget to be vain 
                    Well I did the best I could I guess 
                    But everything just bleeds 
                    They say you're only sad and lonely 
                    And no one is impressed 

                    I sent it off in a letter 
                    I need somethin' better 
                    Than a nail and a hammer 
                    To put me back together 
                    But this ain't my first ride 
                    It ain't my last try 
                    Just got to keep a-movin on 
                    Got to keep this together 
                    Maybe next time is never 

                    I guess I should be ashamed 
                    But I forget to be vain 
                    Well I did the best I could I guess 
                    But everything just bleeds 
                    They say you're only sad and lonely 
                    And no one is impressed 

                    Sometimes I must confess 
                    I do feel a little over dressed 
                    Sometimes it's hard to tell the wishing from the well 
                    Where you threw the penny and where it fell

                    I guess I should I should be ashamed 
                    But I forget to be vain 
                    Well I did the best I could I guess 
                    But everything just bleeds 
                    I guess I should be ashamed 
                    But I forget to be vain 
                    Well I did the best I could I guess 
                    But everything just bleeds 
                    They say you're only sad and lonely 
                    And no one is impressed 

                    Three Marlenas 
                     
                    Alone tonight in somebody's bed 
                    She gone and dyed her hair red 
                    She only went and did what she did 
                    'Cause he would drive her home then 
                    There's lipstick on her new dress 
                    She hadn't even paid yet 
                    But it doesn't matter where the money went 
                    It wasn't how she paid her rent 

                    One, two, three Marlenas 
                    There's got to be someone we can trust 
                    Out here among us 

                    Now lookin' out across the city lights 
                    She thought they'd be a good pair 
                    Now he could make a living sellin' cars 
                    Maybe she could work there 
                    She's gonna pick a star in the night 
                    And pray to make it all right 
                    She tried so hard not to pick a kite 
                    She always prayed to heaven lights 

                    One, two, three Marlenas
                    There's got to be someone we can trust
                    Out here among us 
                    One, two, three Marlenas 
                    It's see no, speak no, hear no evil about us 
                    The three Marlenas

                    Man, I think I'm gonna buy myself a Rolls 
                    Maybe a Chevrolet 
                    One where I can pull that top down 
                    Just let my radio play 
                    Now I'm headin' out on that highway 
                    I'm goin' right out of state 
                    Now I ain't lookin' back until I'm gone 
                    Right through heaven's gates 

                    One, two, three Marlenas
                    There's got to be someone we can trust 
                    Out here among us 
                    One, two, three Marlenas 
                    Ya see no, speak no, hear no evil among us 
                    The three Marlenas 
                    Three Marlenas
                    Three Marlenas

                    The Difference 
                     
                    One, two boys by the river 
                    Down by the water 
                    Tellin' riddles in the dark 
                    With fireflies under the moonlight 
                    Carvin' the insides of a tree with a knife 
                    Ever hear the one about the boy's big sister 
                    His best friend come along 
                    He tried to kiss her

                    The only difference 
                    That I see 
                    Is you are exactly the same 
                    As you used to be 

                    One boy lives in a tower
                    With bow and arrow 
                    And the artificial heart 
                    With his girl 
                    Maid of dishoner 
                    He loaded the cannon 
                    With a jealous appetite 
                    They say that children now 
                    They come in all ages 
                    And maybe sometimes old men die 
                    With little boy faces

                    The only difference 
                    That I see 
                    Is you are exactly the same 
                    As you used to be 

                    You always said that you needed some
                    But you always had more, more than anyone

                    The only difference 
                    That I see 
                    Is you are exactly the same 
                    As you used to be 

                    Invisible City 
                     
                    Lookin' back at the crash site 
                    I don't see me by the roadside 
                    Well this heart is on wheels tonight
                    Straight through the ghettos
                    And without lights
                    Now every heart has a blind side 
                    Where it learns how to improvise 
                    Well this place is a whorehouse tonight 
                    Cheaper lovers make expensive wives

                    But all of these horses 
                    That you chase around 
                    In the end they are the ones 
                    That always bring you down
                    This invisible city
                    Where no one sees nothing 
                    We're touching faces in the dark 
                    Feelin' pretty is so hard

                    Now all of these voices 
                    And all of these noises 
                    With all their illusions of choices 
                    They've come to my door 
                    With one dozen roses 
                    The imitation of good faith 
                    Is how you stumble upon hate 
                    It may have been the first of mistakes 
                    When we held on too loosely 
                    Then opened the gates 

                    But all of these horses 
                    That you chase around 
                    In the end they are the ones 
                    That always bring you down
                    This invisible city
                    Where no one sees nothing 
                    We're touching faces in the dark 
                    Feelin' pretty is so hard

                    Now I try not to tell lies 
                    But there's pressures from inside 
                    So I've learned how to compromise 
                    Good people for alibis 

                    But all of these horses 
                    That you chase around 
                    In the end they are the ones 
                    That always bring you down
                    This invisible city
                    Where no one sees nothing 
                    We're touching faces in the dark 
                    Feelin' pretty is so hard

                    Laughing Out Loud 
                     
                    Man, you oughta finish what you've started 
                    You can't leave me here alive
                    Well I know it started as a fist fight
                    But you've got me covered up in hives

                    I don't need an invitation
                    The best Peach is at the top of that tree
                    But when all this indecision reigns
                    So aimlessness that helps me see straight

                    You got me walkin' up a tightrope
                    With vaseline from my head to my feet
                    You got me lookin' into blindfolds
                    But I know you've got your hands all over me
                    So when all these imitations fail
                    Just don't look back 'cause I won't be there

                    Laughing out loud 
                    When I didn't ever know just what it was all about 
                    Laughing out loud 
                    When I didn't ever know just why you push me around 

                    Well I'm doing time inside a grapevine
                    Little things amuse little minds
                    Well, nothin's free except a little bit of bad advice
                    On how to live on only water, bread and rice

                    I don't need an invitation 
                    The best peach is at the top of that tree 
                    So when all this nighttime vision fails 
                    I'll lose all these chains and slip out of this jail

                    Laughing out loud 
                    When I didn't ever know just what it was all about 
                    Laughing out loud 
                    When I didn't ever know just why you push me around 

                    Josephine 
                     
                    I feel pretty good 
                    I feel all right 
                    And I've been thinkin' maybe 
                    I could spend the night 

                    I know you've been sad 
                    I know I've been bad 
                    But if you'd let me 
                    Make you ribbons from a paper bag 

                    Josephine 
                    You're so good to me 
                    And I know 
                    It ain't easy 
                    Josephine 
                    You're so sweet 
                    You must taste just like sugar & tangerines 

                    I won't make a sound 
                    Sleep on the ground 
                    When you wake I will 
                    Drive you into town 
                    I missed your smile 
                    Your schoolgirl style 
                    But I never had much fun 
                    Maybe the very first mile 

                    Josephine 
                    You're so good to me 
                    And I know 
                    It ain't easy 
                    Josephine 
                    You're so sweet 
                    You must taste just like sugar & tangerines 

                    Don't you know 
                    I watched you walkin' home from school 
                    Your friends on the old playgrounds 
                    You never looked so down 
                    Won't you come and help me with these cuts of mine? 
                    I've disconnected my heart 
                    And cut myself on the wires 
                    Josephine 

                    I know I was wrong 
                    I knew all along 
                    But I got so far from my home 
                    I never thought I'd be so lonesome 

                    Josephine 
                    You're so good to me 
                    And I know 
                    It ain't easy 
                    Josephine 
                    You're so sweet 
                    You must taste just like sugar & tangerines 

                    God Don't Make Lonely Girls 
                     
                    Senorita looks like you ain't done nothing good 
                    When it ain't supposed to do 
                    Oh no no no no 
                    I seen her downtown 
                    'Bout an hour ago 
                    Behind the glass at a peep show 
                    I got nervous 'cause I don't know 
                    Can she see me behind that window? 

                    It's almost nine and I'm back in line 
                    I can't get the girl with the Spanish tears
                    Out of my mind
                    I've got to make her mine, all mine
                    But somethin' is wrong
                    She don't belong
                    She oughta be back where she's from
                    Maybe back on this Mexico City
                    Man, I don't know her
                    But she sure is pretty

                    But God don't make lonely girls 
                    Sure didn't want 'em in His world 
                    God don't make lonely girls

                    Now when I make that girl all mine
                    I'm gonna stand by her
                    Once I get inside of
                    Her barbed wire
                    Once I get inside
                    I bet she'd look good in a brand new dress
                    She never felt good in her fish net
                    She's got to be this towns best mess
                    But it ain't nothin' that her face would suggest

                    But God don't make lonely girls 
                    Sure didn't want 'em in His world 
                    God don't make lonely girls

                    I gotta make her see
                    I'm a guarantee
                    Oh, if she'd only come along with me
                    Well I can make her see
                    Gonna take a walk right through these walls
                    'Cause she's comin' home with me
                    I ain't even gonna touch her at all
                    Man, I'm only gonna lay awake and watch her sleep

                    But God don't make lonely girls 
                    Sure didn't want 'em in His world 
                    God don't make lonely girls

                    Angel On My Bike 
                     
                    She knows just what I like
                    The angel on my bike
                    She found me down on a two ton anchor
                    Tangled up in wire
                    She always gets it right
                    The angel on my bike
                    I could be killed if the train goes faster
                    Well angel watch my life

                    I can't handle a care 
                    I want, but I can't be there
                    While angel's a prayer

                    It's 45 miles on that highway 
                    Angel double prayer 
                    I have to sleep with my eyes on the white lines
                    Elvis need of repair
                    I only wanted to believe
                    That angel it's me that you need 
                    And there's only, only one heart on that highway
                    Angel double prayer


                    I can't handle a care 
                    I want, but I can't be there
                    While angel's a prayer
                    I can't handle a care
                    I want, but I can't be there
                    While angel's a prayer

                    Now it's hard time on these wheels 
                    These fairytales
                    Turn to rusted steel and it's
                    Gettin' hard now to believe
                    She's seein' me
                    Angel, please, tell me
                    Can't you see
                    Angel it's only me
                    Angel it's only me 

                    Well I can't take a care
                    Man, I want, but I can't be there
                    While angel's a prayer
                    I can't handle a care
                    Well, I want, but I can't be there
                    While angel's a prayer

                    I Wish I Felt Nothing 
                     
                    Say when you're alone
                    It's better 'cause nobody knows you
                    When no one's your friend
                    It's better 'cause nobody leaves you
                    So you turned your back
                    On a world that you could never have
                    'Cause your heart's been cracked
                    And everyone else is goin' mad

                    But I hear voices
                    And I see colors
                    But I wish I felt nothing
                    Then it might be easy for me
                    Like it is for you

                    Now all of these people
                    Come up from deep holes
                    Pullin' you down
                    And it's just no use
                    When all the abuse follows you down
                    By the morning you've gone
                    Leavin' me here all alone
                    Sayin' it's no mystery
                    I know that nobody here needs me

                    But I hear voices
                    And I see colors
                    But I wish I felt nothing
                    Then it might be easy for me
                    Like it is for you

                    And I know you believe that you and me don't belong here
                    And the worst we could do
                    Is keep trying to pretend we care

                    But I hear voices
                    And I see colors
                    But I wish I felt nothing
                    Then it might be easy for me
                    Like it is for you
